Ah Dai's low voice startled the girl in pink, causing her to abruptly turn around. Just as she was about to scream, Ah Dai covered her mouth. He spoke in a deep voice, "Don't scream. I mean no harm. I'm her friend. Tell me, what happened to her?"
The panic in the girl's eyes gradually faded. She blinked at Ah Dai. Upon releasing his hand, she stared at him in fear, took two steps back, and shielded Tifya behind her. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Who... who are you? What do you want? Did the young master send you to harm my lady?"
Ah Dai frowned and said, "I already told you, I'm your lady's friend. Tell me, what happened to her?"
The pink-clad girl remained wary. Wiping away her tears, she spoke with bitterness, "You must have been sent by the young master. How hateful you all are! Haven't you harmed her enough already? If you want to kill her, then kill me first." She spread her arms and stood protectively in front of Tifya, glaring at Ah Dai with hatred.
